Problem is i can't seem to remove the back two bolts on the intake manifold due to the fact the bolts are almost touching the manifold and i can't put a socket on it nor is there enough room to put a wrench on it. ANy suggestions???

ANy suggestions??? Are you talking about the back of the intake (3 bolts the thread into the block)? I made the mistake of putting bolts in there (loose) to hold the end seal. I couldn't get the middle one in (I think it's impossible). I had to use a mirror, an open end wrench, and I had to hold my mouth a certain way to get them out. After that I just use the Right Stuff front and back and never had problems with leaks.

They changed to spring pins after that problem. I don't use anything anymore. Just Right Stuff front and back-no leaks.
